The Unique Flight Where Everybody Gets Lounge Access

Japan Airlines has one daily flight where everyone gets complimentary lounge access before departure - even passengers in Economy Class.

A clever idea, it prevents a lot of food wastage and the crew can concentrate getting people to sleep.

And it also fully utilises an area, i.e. the lounge which would otherwise be underused.

And having recently taken a Y (why, why, why) UL short haul flight from DXB-CMB that departed just before midnight, I totally agree that no one needs a meal at that hour of the day. Meal service meant the lights were on and there was noise and movement in the aisles for 3 hrs of the 4:20 flight, making sleep all but impossible possible. Lounge access and no meal would be a great idea for this flight

It is a great idea but can only work in certain airport and certain airlines.

e.g. You would not be able to do this by SQ in SIN given the number of late-night/early morning flights from SIN.

Let's face it, the Japanese have always been decades ahead of everyone else

The question is

Do they tell all the PAX they’re able to go to the Lounge for free ?

It's fairly prominently displayed on their website.

Was this a press release by JAL by any chance? Lucky ran an almost identical article on December 25, even with ‘unique’ in the title! Although AFF has correctly acknowledged the PG lounges, which Lucky had omitted in his original article.

Nope! I haven’t seen the OMAAT article but an AFF member told me about this flight before Christmas.
